Albert Accuser Faces Charges

WASHINGTON - — The woman who accused Marv Albert, the NBC Sports announcer, of assault and battery and forcing her to perform oral sex is facing a criminal charge herself.

Meanwhile, Albert still is scheduled to work Saturday's Heat-Bulls playoff game, though NBC hasn't made a final decision.

Police and superior court records in the District of Columbia indicate that on three occasions the woman, whose name is being withheld because of the nature of her charges against Albert, called a former boyfriend who lives here and threatened to kill him, his current girlfriend, his dog and then herself.

The charges were first reported by WRC-TV, an NBC affiliate in Washington. The woman, 42 and a resident of Arlington, Va., made the calls on March 13, according to a police report that quotes the former boyfriend.

The woman has accused Albert of assaulting her in an Arlington, Va., hotel room on Feb. 12. Albert has denied the allegations and said in a statement issued Tuesday that he was confident of exoneration.
